Lesson 2: Chili Pepper Cultivars

Most of the local tall varieties of chili pepper grown in various states are of long duration (5-7 months) with poor yielding potential.

Local varieties vary in their sensitivity to both temperature and photoperiod.

Improved hybrids and other varieties had yielded about 80-100 percent more than the local tall Cultivars.

Lesson 2: Chili Pepper Cultivars

Natural selection and domestication over thousands of years have resulted in the development of numerous varieties highly local in their adaptation.

Most of the improved varieties prior to 1960 are the result of selections among the principle local Cultivars.

Changes in yield levels with these improved verities were not substantial.

Lesson 2: Chili Pepper Cultivars

Research efforts, which began with the development of commercial chili pepper hybrids during 1962, now lay equal emphasis on hybrid as well as on true-breeding varieties.

This is necessary to bring about an eventual transformation.

A choice of hybrids as well as of improved varieties is now available for the different pepper-growing states and situations.
